Heather Graham, Ian Holm, Ian Richardson, Johnny Depp, Lesley Sharp, Robbie Coltrane - Director: Albert Hughes, Allen Hughes FROM HELL is a gory detective film cloaked in Victorian-era mystique. The movie shows how the serial killer Jack the Ripper stalked the dark streets of 1888 London, slaying prostitutes and crudely dissecting their bodies. Based on the graphic novel written by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, this moody chiller is directed by twin brothers Albert and Allen Hughes (MENACE II SOCIETY, AMERICAN PIMP). Johnny Depp stars as Inspector Frederick Abberline, who smokes heavy doses of opium and drowns himself in absinthe to evoke hallucinatory visions that are his clues to catching the Ripper. Heather Graham costars as the prettiest of the floozies, who wins the muted affections of the Inspector.
With plenty of atmosphere and spooky effects, FROM HELL borrows scenery, filming tricks, and sequence construction from a host of popular movies, resulting in a visually interesting--if inconsistent--style. Haunting nighttime shots of the London skyline (actually Prague) bleed into shadowy Tim Burton-like prowls through the damp cobblestone streets; aerial camerawork contrasts with crowded ground-level focuses; and the camera peeks around corners and into foggy windows with stealthy curiosity. What may stand out most in viewers minds after the carnage is through, is the exaggerated use of surround sound, which brings a dreadful sense of reality to the film's gore, making FROM HELL all the juicier. From Hell Reviews: "...The Hughes Brothers' goal here is to make an epic of savagery, and they are brilliant at ambience and details....A conspiracy-theory thriller with brains and a heart..."
-- Elvis Mitchell, New York Times "...Sensational and accomplished....A horror film of genuine artistry and excitement. The Hughes brothers work with commanding restraint..."
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "...Impressively realized, confirming the Brothers as formidable visual stylists....The shadow-drenched Prague studio sets help sustain a sense of claustrophobia well suited to a tale of endemic corruption..."
-- Andy Richards, Sight and Sound "...It's a true auteur movie, perfectly in sync with the brothers' previous output and delivered with a dry, subliminal message..."
-- Steve Grayson, Total Film "...A rich, atmospheric film....The movie feels dark, clammy and exhilarating -- it's like belonging to a secret club where you can have a lot of fun but might get into trouble..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times From Hell | List Price | $19.98 (You save $4.29) | | Studio | 20th Century Fox | | Orig Year | 2001 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank |  7815  | | CD Universe Part number | 3051165 | | Discs | 2 | | Release Date | Sep 11, 2007 | | Rating | R (MPAA) | | Also Known As | Sorti de I'enfer | | Running Time | 121 Minutes | | Additional Info | Widescreen | | Movie Details | Color; DTS Stereo Surround Sound; HiFi Sound; Digital Sound; Stereo Sound; AC-3 Sound; DTS Stereo; Widescreen; Limited Edition 2-Disc Set |
From Hell Movie Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  Get this before the Illuminati takes them all!!!
This DVD is a must have if you are at all interested in the following: Alan Moore's graphic novel "FROM HELL"; conspiracy theories; or the secret society of the Freemasons as grand puppet masters. The movie itself is a bit slow at times but is extremely faithful to the graphic novel it was based on. However what really sells this DVD is the 2nd disc. The amount of bonus material to movie ratio is amazing. And dare I say the "Ripper" theories and extensive historical research/info is better than the movie itself. I actually enjoyed the movie more after I had watched the bonus material and viewed it a second time. These 2 disc sets are hard to come buy so get one if you can. Nobody locally had it or could order it, VIDEO Universe was the only place I could find it and order it without selling my first born, and know I had the correct version coming to me.

Antoine Fuqua (THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS, BAIT) turns up the intensity level with TRAINING DAY, a charged drama about police corruption in downtown Los Angeles. Ethan Hawke stars as Jake Hoyt, a well-intentioned young officer who thinks he's found his ticket to becoming a detective in the form of undercover officer Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington). Harris is a notorious figure in the streets and in the office. He also has the authority to make Jake's professional wishes come true, provided Jake is able to prove his worth on Alonzo's team. At first, Alonzo's blunt, carefree demeanor provides a shock to Jake's optimistic system, but as it becomes clear that Alonzo is dangerously ...

From Hell review
$8.35  
On October 3, 1993, Army Rangers and members of the elite Delta Force participated in a covert operation in Mogadishu, Somalia that went horribly wrong. Sent to abduct two lieutenants of a vicious Somali warlord, the soldiers found themselves surrounded by hostile militia. Two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down and many men lost their lives. Mark Bowden of the Philadelphia Inquirer told the story of the battle in his exhaustively researched, critically acclaimed book, BLACK HAWK DOWN, and filmmaker Ridley Scott (GLADIATOR) and screenwriter Ken Nolan have done an amazing job of bringing the dramatic story to the screen. Like Bowden's book, the film does not thoroughly examine the context of the conflict, but gives a detailed and intense blow-by-blow account of the fighting. The outstanding ensemble cast includes Josh Hartnett as a competent but nervous Ranger sergeant leading his first mission, Ewan McGregor as a "desk jockey" who excels ...

Director Ron Howard delivers his finest effort with his extraordinary film, A BEAUTIFUL MIND, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2001. Based loosely on Sylvia Nasar's acclaimed biography of mathematician John Forbes Nash, the film is a compelling look at one man's genius, his debilitating mental illness, and the fine line between the two. A BEAUTIFUL MIND begins with Nash (Russell Crowe) at Princeton, where he struggles to think of an original idea, and the stroke of genius that will make him matter. Nash is eccentric, socially awkward, and extremely competitive. Eventually, he finds the inspiration for his innovative and influential work on game theory. He's chosen for a post at MIT, which includes crucial code-breaking work for the US government. There, he meets a beautiful and brilliant student, Alicia (Jennifer Connelly). They marry but their happiness is threatened, as Nash, belatedly diagnosed as schizophrenic, descends into madness. Screenwriter Akiva Goldsman cannily condenses Nash's story, and the film manages to dramatize both Nash's mathematical brilliance and his schizophrenia ...

In Guillermo del Toro's BLADE II, Wesley Snipes reprises his role as the part-human, part-vampire superhero based on the comic book character. Following a trail of blood that leads to Prague, Blade (aka the Daywalker) slays a legion of bloodsuckers in the search for his abducted mentor, Whistler (Kris Kristofferson). Soon Blade reluctantly joins forces with a band of skilled vampiric warriors called the Bloodpack to hunt down an even deadlier enemy--the monstrous Reapers, who prey on vampires and humans alike, infecting them with an incurable virus. In addition to battling these relentless new foes, Blade must deal with situations brought about by the Bloodpack's tenuous alliance --in particular, his attraction to the lovely Nyssa (Leonor Varela) and his rivalry with the brutish Reinhardt (Ron Perlman).
A hyperkinetic motion picture, BLADE II literally explodes onto the screen with ...

Nominated for thirteen Genies--Canada's Academy Awards--and winner of nine, THE ROCKET examines the life and career of hockey superstar Maurice Richard, known as the Rocket. Raised in a working-class family, Richard was a machinist in an industrial factory by day, then played hockey after work, eventually earning an invitation to the Montreal Canadiens training camp. Despite his relatively small size and his previous injuries, he surprised everyone--except himself and his wife, Lucille--by making the team, and he soon became one of the game's greatest players. But a bias against French-speaking Canadians left him vulnerable to attacks both on and off the ice throughout his illustrious career, ultimately leading to riots that rocked Montreal. Written by Ken Scott and directed by Charles Binamé, THE ROCKET portrays Richard as a softspoken family man who just wanted to go about his business without any dramatic fanfare. But he was forced into the spotlight because of his heritage and his unique talent; other teams would send their goons out to harass him during games, and the referees and the league commissioner would do nothing ...
